Happy Thanksgiving a little bit late.
I’ve just posted the images for the Starflyer 59 Ghosts of the Future poster, t-shirt, and box related to the 7″ box set. We’ll be taking orders for these things momentarily.
The posters will be 25″ x 38″ on some nice paper stock, suitable for framing. They will be hand-screened by the kind folks at HYMY Industries who have been designing and printing the 7″ covers with the same custom blended metallic ink. We’ll be shipping them in tubes, rolled up to keep them protected. These will ship in time for the holidays.
The t-shirts will be four hand-pulled screened images on organic cotton fitted American Apparel shirts for the smaller sizes (S/M/L) and non-fitted pre-shrunk 100% cotton t-shirts in the XL sizes. HYMY Industries does a lot of one-of-a-kind silk-screen shirts and the Starflyer 59 shirts will be done in a very small batch, which explains the higher pricing. These will ship in time for the holidays.
If you haven’t subscribed to the series yet, you can be a part of what we’re calling the special 7/7/70 deal, which is the first 7 7″ in the series shipped in the wooden box for $70.59ppd delivered in time for the holidays. Perfect for gift giving. The remaining 3 7″ will ship when they are ready in late January/early February 2008 along with the 2 remaining inserts.

I’m in Austin for two weeks, but things are busier than ever. Lots of ideas going back and forth about the final Starflyer 59 boxes. We should have a final design over the weekend and then we’ll have prototypes to display around the week of Thanksgiving. We’re planning some other special unveilings to occur then, so be sure to check in.
The folks at HYMY Industries will have a gallery opening at The Infantree in Lancaster on Friday, 2 November. The gallery is located at 21 N. Prince Street. Our friend Stephen Hoffman will have an ambient guitar performance during the Friday night opening along with his latest photographs. The artwork will remain on display during the month of November.
